“…Therefore, we agree with the idea that psilocybin mushrooms administration in a regulated scenario should be preceded by proper guidance (Kruger et al, 2023) and conducted in suitable settings. Strategies to achieve this goal may include ongoing education for healthcare professionals (Meyer et al, 2022), sharing information with both patients and people who use psilocybin mushrooms for spiritual purposes (Kruger et al, 2023), and exploring the motivations behind psychedelic use (Basedow & Kuitunen-Paul, 2022). Even with these measures in place, it's important to acknowledge that psilocybin, like any psychoactive substance, is not entirely risk-free.…”

“…Consequently, many turn to personal experimentation rather than professional guidance. A survey that examines information-seeking behavior of people using psychedelics shows that the most common source of participants' information was their own experimentation (Kruger et al, 2023). Understanding these factors influencing self-treatment is essential for contextualizing the adverse event profile of psilocybin mushrooms observed in our analysis.…”

“…While tapping into broader global and national cultural concepts, psychedelic worldviews also take on local subcultural attunement (Hartogsohn, 2022), resulting in grassroots harm reduction. In an online survey of psychedelic users in naturalistic settings, Kruger, Enghoff, Herberholz, Barron, and Boehnke (2023) found that many people sought information but mistrusted information from government agencies and pharmaceutical companies. Over half got information from internet websites and online discussion forums, books and peer-reviewed articles, and friends.…”

“…As described previously, we developed this survey collaboratively with input from various stakeholders, including therapists, psychedelic advocacy groups, and academics experienced in survey design and psychedelic research (25). The current study reports on components of this survey that investigated psychedelic use patterns as well as interactions related to psychedelics with healthcare providers, including PCPs and PsyCPs.…”
